“We love Megahn! She’s given me peace of mind knowing someone’s stopping by during the day to check on my babies. She’s accommodating with last minute requests, quickly responds, and always shows them so much love.”
“Matthew was great with our girls. He varied the drop in visit times which worked out great for our 2 dogs. He spent time playing with them and gave them lots of pets and cuddles. Thank you for looking after our girls while we were away.”
About: Hello, I’m Tabitha! . I’ve had pets ever since I was a small child and love all animals, no matter how small or big! I do have experience house sitting/dog sitting and have references available! I’ve also been a dog foster mom, tackling on 9 puppies at one time! And with me caring for your beloved pet you’ll never have to worry about them being mistreated! I am extremely reliable and flexible, and here to help you in any way possible! Thank you in advance if you chose me as the caretaker of your furry family member. I work overnights Monday-Thursday, so I’m available to do walks/drop ins between 6 am and 4pm those days. And my schedule is open for either on Fridays-Saturdays. I follow all the rules and boundaries you have set for your pet to ensure that they are kept safe. And always make sure leashes are on before we go outside.
“Jasmine was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover, and she made everything simple. She checked in on our four cats while my husband and I were on vacation. Everyday, she sent photos of each cat with an update. In addition to knowing they had food, water & clean litter boxes, I liked knowing they were getting loved on. I will definitely ask her to help again next time we leave town. Thank you!”
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and in my adult life have lived with two adorable kitties for years now. I look forward to giving your furry children plenty of love, attention, and exercise - whatever’s needed! Pet care fits into my daily afternoon schedule because of the flexibility my job provides. I’m available to walk your dog in the afternoon/night or check on your cats to make sure they’re good to go! In my home our two cats (Garbo and Ziggy) are always being asked if they’re good boys and getting lots of pets and kisses and cuddles to make sure they’re know they’re as special as they are
“Tedra was super responsive, on time, and attentive to my dogs. She sent a great summary of each check in along with some cute pictures. She really went above and beyond and we plan on using her in the future!”
“Jade is professional, dependable and was great with our Shih Tzu and Weimaraner. She took her time with our babies and we could not thank her enough for helping out on short notice. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Amber is very nice and took great care of our Guinness while we were away for the weekend! She has great communication, made sure he got lots of pets, and sent us lots of pictures!”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and made us feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’re very happy with her and would definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica was great with our senior large dogs and super flexible with our schedule. Communication was easy, and we felt totally comfortable leaving our crew in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jessica and would happily book with her again!”
About: I became a dog owner in 2020 when I got my first French Bulldog, Hank McCoy, and I’ve been hands-on with caring for and training my dogs ever since. I’ve personally trained all of my dogs at home, focusing mainly on basic obedience, household manners, and everyday routines. Some of the commands I’ve worked with include sit, stay, down, come here, stop, paw, move, up, no, go home, night-night, and go potty. I’m not a professional dog trainer, but I’m comfortable reinforcing the commands, boundaries, and routines your dog already knows. I understand that consistency matters, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. My experience as a dog owner has also taught me how important it is to pay attention to a dog’s body language, personality, comfort level, and individual habits. I try to be patient and let each dog settle in at their own pace while giving them plenty of attention, structure, playtime, walks, and affection. I treat the dogs in my care the same way I’d want someone to treat mine; with patience, attention, and genuine care. Pet care already fits naturally into my everyday routine since I have a pup of my own. Walks, potty breaks, playtime and plenty of lounging around are already part of the schedule over here! I’m flexible and intentional about making time for the dogs in my care, and I’ll always do my best to stick to your pup’s normal feeding, walking and bedtime routine. I want their stay to feel like a little vacation too not like they’ve been dropped off at daycare. 🐾 I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable and at home. I have a small dog of my own, so I like to learn about your dog’s personality and how they do around other dogs before their stay. We spend most of our time upstairs, so the space has a cozy, apartment-style feel where I can keep everyone close and supervised. We also have a fenced backyard with a working garden. Because of that, outdoor time is supervised rather than just opening the door and letting everyone loose. Your pup will still get plenty of potty breaks, walks, fresh air, playtime and attention. I’m also happy to follow the boundaries you use at home; whether that means crating, certain sleeping arrangements, feeding separately, or keeping up with specific commands and routines. My goal is for you to leave feeling comfortable and for your dog to leave wondering when they get to come back. 😂❤️
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started pet sitting at ten years old and absolutely fell in love with providing quality care to other's fur-babies! I have extensive experience in petsitting cats and dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have experience with administering medications, as well as experience with dogs with disabilities who just need a little extra TLC! I adore caring for these babies whether it be through walking, playing, or just getting in some snuggles! I am currently a college student with class only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week and weekend to provide care! I like to start my mornings early, but I can also be a night owl, so I am very flexible with time and am happy to help when I am needed. Although I am in college and cannot provide care in my home, I am more than happy to come over and care for the pets in a clients home! I am fully aware of the fact a new visitor can be nerve wracking or stressful for some pets, so I always take it slow and make sure that your baby is 100% comfortable. All pets are different and some take more time to warm up than others, so I am very patient and perfectly happy to meet your pet where they are. :)
“Tara was amazing with our boy! He seemed very happy! We will definitely use Tara again in the future. She walked him and loved on him. She was on time and very accommodating. Definitely recommend”
“Sarah was great dropping in to feed my cat and spending time with her. We had just moved so Cali was somewhat traumatized. However, she warmed up to Sarah quickly. Sarah sent me pictures at every visit and updated me on how Cali was doing. I’ll definitely request Sarah again the next time I need to be away.”

Once again, Tedra did a phenomenal job of taking care of our dogs while we were out of town. She dropped in on time and gave the best reports after her visit! I never worry about whether or not they will get great care and we will continue to ask them for help!
Anna did a fantastic job looking after my animals and was extra communicative to make sure things were just right for them. She was very thorough with the details of everything and quickly gained my full trust, even cleaning up the occasional mess... The babies are always safe in her care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
